build

build is a command for Claude Code from JuliusBrussee/cavekit. It costs 19 tokens per session (144 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that plans and executes work from a software specification. It treats each specification target as a separate unit and checks that its stated tests prove the change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build one target, the next target, or all targets from a specification, with planning and verification for each change.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation tied to the specification and sends failed verification back for correction.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

build scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Invoke the build skill (skills/build/SKILL.md). Treat $ARGUMENTS as the target (§T.n, --next, or --all). Plan in native plan mode, name the exact test that proves each §V touched (verification contract), read §R for external facts, execute, and auto-invoke backprop on failure. High blast radius? Suggest /ck:review first. Build only flips §T status; other spec edits route through spec.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
